Dear ladies and gentlemen,
We are pleased to announce that after a four months break due to an arson fire in our office Kazakhstan International Bureau for Human Rights and Rule of Law is renewing publication of electronic newsletter "Human Rights in Kazakhstan and All Over the World".
From now on this newsletter will be distributed once a week in Russian and English versions.
The English version will mainly provide information on human rights and democratic developments in Kazakhstan.
Russian version will also contain reports on human rights situation in other countries of Central Asia based on reports from various international human rights organizations and other sources.
Together with Institute on War and Peace Reporting we also plan a quarterly publication of compilation of the reports from our newsletter.
